- the present invention relates to biomarkers which are novel proteins and peptides capable of being employed for detecting cognitive dysfunction diseases including mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease, and methods for detecting cognitive dysfunction diseases using the biomarkers.
- a major prior art as a means for using samples exhibiting in vivo conditions which are normal and are not normal for determining a difference between them is a technology employed generally in extracorporeal diagnostic agents.
- the prior art in this field involves blood tests to quantify a single certain protein or oligopeptide having a molecular weight of 10,000 or less, or to determine the activity in cases of enzymatic proteins, thereby identifying a marked difference between the normal sample (healthy individual) and the disease sample, which serves as an aid in the diagnosis.
- a certain number of biological samples from healthy and diseased individuals are assayed for levels or activities of a single or multiple certain proteins or certain oligopeptides to determine the abnormal and normal ranges. Then, a biological sample to be evaluated is measured by the same method and the evaluation is made based on the range, abnormal or normal, in which the measured value is included.
- Typical measurement methods include an enzyme linked immmunosorbent assay (ELISA) in which the levels of a single or multiple certain proteins or peptides in a sample which has been or has not been diluted preliminarily is measured based on the colorimetric level of the sample using a specific primary antibody or secondary antibody labeled with an enzyme which develops a color when reacting with a substrate, as well as a chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA).
- ELISA enzyme linked immmunosorbent assay
- RIA radioimmunoassay
- HPLC high pressure liquid chromatography
- SRM selected reaction monitoring
- MRM multiple reaction monitoring
- a sample is pretreated appropriately and then subjected to a two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) to separate proteins or peptides, and thereafter the intended protein or peptide is subjected to a silver staining, coomassie blue staining, or immunostaining employing a relevant antibody (western blotting), thereby measuring the concentration in the sample.
- 2D-PAGE two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
- a biological sample is fractionated by a column chromatography and a fraction is subjected to a mass spectrometry to analyze the proteins and the peptides contained therein.
- a pretreatment using a protein chip is conducted for a mass spectrometry, or a pretreatment using magnetic beads is conducted for a mass spectrometry.
- the inventor also had developed an immunoMS method in which beads (including magnetic beads) are allowed to bind to an antibody against the target protein or peptide, thereby capturing the target protein or peptide which are thereafter allowed to elute from the beads and measured by the mass spectrometry.
- a direct fractionation is conducted utilizing the nature of an intact protein, or a specifically adsorbing protein molecule is selected for mass spectrometric analysis.
- Cognitive dysfunction diseases a representative of which is Alzheimer's disease, are prevailing rapidly also in Japan in response to an increase in the population of the aged.
- the population was about 1,300,000 in 1995, and then increased to about 2,800,000 in 2010, and is assumed to approximate 4,100,000 in 2020.
- the Alzheimer's disease is believed to account for 60 to 90% of the cognitive dysfunction diseases. This disease is becoming a social problem because it makes a patient suffer not only from loss of memory but also from destruction of personality, thereby impairing the social life function of the patient.

- Non-Patent Document 3 Czepiel, SA, http://czep.net/stat/mlelr.pdf, 2010, Maximum likelihood estimation of logistic regression models: theory and implementation. This explanation includes the analysis based on Newton-Raphson method.
- Equations (1) and (2) A large number of data are applied to Equations (1) and (2) to obtain coefficient ⁇ i , and then whose significance (that ⁇ i is not zero) is judged based on the statistic value p.
- Equation (2) There are two methods for finalizing Equation (2).
- Equation (2) When a non-significant coefficient was found, then it is excluded to make Equation (2), and the similar application procedure is repeated. When all coefficient of Equation (2) became significant, then, by inserting the measured value of X i , a z value can be obtained from Equation (2). Thereafter, the value of P (discrimination probability) can be obtained from Equation (1). It is also possible to calculate the standard error for the coefficient ⁇ i .
- the percentage of correct answer is a rate of correct judgment which is the assignment to the group to which the original assignment was made, while, in the method discussed here, all coefficients including coefficients exhibiting no statistical significance are subjected to a trial and error procedure, thereby obtaining the combination giving the highest percentage of correct answer.
- the discrimination probability is obtained similarly to (I) .
- the percentage of correct answer of the logistic regression is defined based on the following Equation (3).
- the odds ratio to a variate x i is a value obtained by dividing the odds of when x i is increased by one unit by the previous odds, and is equal to exp( ⁇ i ).
- An odds ratio of 1 means that the probability of the occurrence of the event discussed here will not change because the odds is same to the previous one even if increasing x i by one unit.
- ⁇ i in this case is 0 and there is no contribution to Z.
- apolipoprotein E apolipoprotein A1
- C3 complement C3
- TTR transthyretin
- Factor H complement factor H
